Most people here really don't like him. We're rural, conservative, mostly Christian people. The only reason I'd go is to protest. Anyone in the Hannibal/Shelbina/Macon, MO area?

OTTUMWA, IOWA (AP) -- KTVO has learned the tentative schedule for President Obama's swing through the Heartland planned for next week.

The President is scheduled to land in Quincy, Illinois at roughly 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday April 27.

He will then travel to Fort Madison, Iowa, Mt. Pleasant and Ottumwa.

He is expected to arrive in Ottumwa at about 4:45 and hold a town hall event or rally. No location or format has been set at this time.

The President will spend Tuesday night in Des Moines.

On Wednesday April 28, the President will return to Quincy and then travel to Macon Missouri for an event, before ending his day back in Quincy.

Ottumwa Police Chief Jim Clark received more details about the visit after talking with the Secret Service Wednesday afternoon.

He said Ottumwa will do what is asked, but will not be doing too much because of the President's busy schedule and short stay.

At this point, security is still a primary concern. Clark said the Secret Service has determined a location, but the location cannot be released yet for security purposes.

KTVO will bring you more details of the events, including locations, when the White House releases them to the media.

Call out the TEA Partiers. Make him feel welcome. After all, he does appreciate community organizing & speaking truth to power, right?

The old Ted DiBiase entrance song ran through my head when I saw that pic. Obama IS a heel.

Wouldn’t it be great to be able to do that at EVERY place he arrives at? Ridicule, get in his face, see how he LIKES it!

Mentioned on my FB page. Hopefully there’ll be a lot of TEA Party people around to educate Obama.
